Some gardening gloves are tools. These are something different — closer to wearing a small piece of botanical history while you potter through your borders. The Asteraceae print on these gloves is taken from botanical illustrations dating to around 1810, drawn from the RHS Lindley Collections — one of the world's most important horticultural archives. Two centuries old, and now hand-picked to wrap around your wrists on a Sunday afternoon in the cutting garden.

Set against a soft sage green background, the jewel-bright blooms — China asters, coreopsis, and other Asteraceae family flowers — celebrate the late-summer and autumn colour that holds the garden together when the early roses have gone over. They're also some of the most important pollinator plants of the late season, which feels right: a glove that nods quietly to the bees and butterflies as you go about the work that supports them.

Made by Burgon & Ball, the Sheffield toolmaker who've been making garden tools since 1730, as part of their RHS-endorsed "Gifts for Gardeners" collection. Supplied to us through our partners at AllotMate, who curate proper, well-made tools for gardeners and allotmenteers who'd rather buy once.

The design

The Asteraceae family is one of the most diverse and rewarding plant groups in the cottage garden — and one of the most important for late-season pollinators:

  • China asters and coreopsis are the signature flowers in the print, with their bright, daisy-like blooms in pinks, oranges, and yellows
  • The botanical illustrations are hand-picked from the RHS Lindley Collections, c.1810 — the kind of antique botanical art that costs serious money in framed prints
  • The soft sage green background grounds the jewel-bright flowers and stops the design from feeling busy
  • The whole effect is celebratory rather than fussy — the resilience and radiant colour of late-season cottage garden flowers, captured on something you'll actually use

It's the kind of design that gets noticed — by visitors who admire your gloves, and by you in the small daily moments when a beautiful object brings a small lift to ordinary work.

What makes them work

Beautiful design is no use if the gloves don't function. Burgon & Ball have built genuinely thoughtful working features into these:

  • Cushioned palm — proper protection for everyday garden work, reducing hand fatigue during longer sessions
  • Gathered wrist — close-fitting cuff that keeps soil, mulch, and small debris from finding their way down your sleeve
  • Soft yet tough fabric with built-in stretch — flexible enough for fiddly tasks like deadheading and tying, durable enough to take repeated use
  • Snug, flexible fit — moves naturally with your hand rather than sliding around as you work
  • Machine-washable at 30°C — significantly more practical than most workwear gloves. Pop them in with the next dark wash and they come out fresh for next time

That last point is worth dwelling on. Most gardening gloves can't go in the washing machine — the construction or coatings can't take it. These can, which means they stay looking nice rather than gradually accumulating a season of soil into the fabric.

Sizing

These are a universal women's fit, size 8.5 (a glove length of around 23.5cm tip to cuff) — equivalent to a UK women's medium. They suit average to slightly broader women's hands, and many smaller men's hands as well thanks to the stretch fit.

If you have particularly small or particularly broad hands, our Briers range may offer a more precise fit. But for most women's hands, the universal sizing here works comfortably.

As a gift

This is one of the loveliest gardening gifts you can give someone — practical enough to be used, beautiful enough to be appreciated, and rooted in proper horticultural heritage rather than novelty. Particularly thoughtful for:

  • A gardening friend with an eye for the beautiful — anyone who chooses kit on aesthetics as well as function will love these
  • Mother's Day, birthdays, Christmas — perennially difficult gift moments solved with a properly thoughtful piece of garden kit
  • A new gardener just starting out — these say "this is going to be lovely, take your time"
  • An older gardener who'd rather be given something pretty than something purely functional
  • Pair with a packet of cottage garden seeds for a complete small gift

Looking after them

The machine-washable construction makes care genuinely easy:

  • Shake out and brush off visible soil before washing
  • Machine wash at 30°C — ideally with similar colours rather than bright whites
  • Air dry away from direct heat — the printed fabric will fade quickly under tumble dryers or strong sun
  • Avoid bleach or fabric softeners — both can damage the print and the stretch fabric
  • Store flat or hung gently rather than scrunched up

Treated this way, the print stays vivid and the gloves keep their lovely look for many seasons.

About Burgon & Ball and the RHS Lindley Collections

Burgon & Ball have been making garden tools in Sheffield since 1730, drawing on the city's centuries-old expertise in steel and craft. Their RHS-endorsed "Gifts for Gardeners" collection draws on the RHS Lindley Collections — one of the most significant horticultural libraries and archives in the world, containing thousands of botanical illustrations and historical garden materials. We're proud to stock pieces from this collaboration; using two-hundred-year-old botanical art to decorate practical garden kit is the kind of small cultural project that suits our shop exactly.

Size: Large, Style: 4 Pack
My dogs absolutely love these! I bought them at a great price! They have lasted my dogs over a year! I have a full pitbull, pit/lab, pit/boxer, and a pit/mastiff. So needless to say they pass the power jaw test. They look just like the pictures and they are pretty light weight!

Benebone is fantastic for heavy chewers and busy, adolescent pups!
Size: Medium, Style: 4 Pack
This little multi-pack is cost-effective in a few ways, super durable and effective, and I'll definitely be purchasing the multi-pack again. We discovered these about a year ago and have been buying them ever since. I'm just now getting around to reviewing them because they're that good, plus I love that the company is family-owned. Four "bones" lasts a little over a month for a power chewer, which is a bargain! You get 4 medium size "bones" for the retail price of 2. These smell delicious to dogs but humans can detect the odor, which is so nice. They are incredibly durable, but somehow also not too hard for a power chewer, and they keep pup from chewing on books and other items that we don't wanted chewed to bits. Heavy chewers (and their people!) love these and the variety of shapes means we can swap them out in rotation and keep pup's interest going for a few weeks. Wait until your pup has all of their adult teeth, as they are a little too hard for teething. And for super power chewers, watch out for the fish shaped chew, as this one seems to allow larger pieces to be chewed off the fish head "corners" more easily due to the relative thinness of the shape at that point when compared to the other 3 shapes. Keep an eye on how much your power chewer is taking off of these "bones" (little tiny pieces do get chewed off) and toss them (or recycle with Benebone!) when your dog is able to chew off more than a crumb size piece. Hooray for Benebone! Hooray for family-owned businesses! We'll be back for more!

Seems Very Durable So Far
Size: Small, Style: 4 Pack
My dogs are really enjoying these chew toys! These keep them busy for hours!! So far they seem very durable and my little dogs can really chew and destroy so I’m happy about these so far! They rarely each chew a toy at the same time, but choose to take turns instead. But now they each have a chew toy and they are happy campers!!

Recommended by my breeder
Size: Small, Style: Wishbone/Dental
Purchased these two small sized Benebones for my puppy Springer Spaniel. It’s one of her favorite toys and it is well used and well worn. Replaced these with the medium size recently as she’s almost full grown now.
